We've made these forums available as a read-only reference and knowledge-base for people using or developing editors based on htmlArea 2 or 3.

Anyone who is interested in taking over version 2 or 3 is free to do so. All we ask is that you choose a new name that doesn't have "htmlarea" in it to avoid confusion with this site. We'll even give you a link in the directory to make it easier for people to find you. If you are developing or hosting an htmlArea based-editor under a new name, please submit it to our directory.

I'm just leaving for looong vacation so no further development nor bug fixing during next six or seven weeks. If someone does feel he could make the plugin better, fix bugs, translate or just write a howto do not hesitate to do so. As far as I don't have much time right now, I would really appreciate if someone could help me with development. Probably creating and assigning the project on sourceforge.net would be a good starting point. Any volunteer?

I've found a bug- if the focus isn't on the htmlArea at the time, it'll insert the page link on the actual web page itself, rather than in the area- I'm guessing this can be fixed relatively easily by using Javascript focus() stuff, but I'm not experienced enough to go delving into the code myself!

my bit of a problem is the link of the attached file is missing my path defined in config ($MY_URL_TO_OPEN_FILE), which is not my web root but a few subdirs in. If I set $MY_URL_TO_OPEN_FILE to my web root and then navigate to subdirs and attach file, it will work ok. But I dont want to give access to files other than in this special file dir.

I am playing around with this plugin, trying to get familiar with code so I can help extend it.

I am having a problem getting the value of a selected file's extension via javascript. I see various bits of code to check the file extension in files.php and there is a js function in insert_file.php for doing a check for file uploads, but I cannot seem to pass a correct value through javascript to get the selected file's extension.

i thought maybe this would suffice:

Code

var ext = checkExtension(name);

But it doesnt seem to work. I also tried fethching the value from php doing an echo of variable $ext re-using code in files.php and config.php.
